Hydrogen Generation & Storage Made Easy with Nano-Technology

Syndicated — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 07:34:47 +0000

Fuels like gasoline, based on hydrocarbon, create pollution and carbon footprint. Hydrogen has been claimed to be a good alternative to replace fossil fuel since the 1970s. But hydrogen’s potential has not been realized even partially mainly because of storage and commercial production difficulties. There have been research being done on renewable energy sources [...] Read More...

New Platinum Could Mean Cheaper, More Efficient Fuel Cells

Syndicated — Wed, 05 May 2010 06:59:41 +0000

Fuel cells are clean and green cells. They work without polluting the environment. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that transform the chemical energy of a fuel into electricity generating water as a by-product. Fuel cells are most used in space flights but they can be best utilized in electric vehicles to reduce air pollution. [...]
